GG on a GI Joe site?
Could this be because you guys are doing a vintage 1980's 12" GI Joe ARAH line? Like the 12" vintage Kenner Star Wars line? There have been persistent rumors for a while now that this was in the works, and if it is, I could not be happier....The SW line is fantastic, and a Joe line could be even better, depending how it is done.
It would be interesting to see how you would go about it, construction-wise...Retain the full articulation of the 1980's figures, with the Oring intact, or go with some kind of static 5 POA line? personally, I would like a direct 12" translation, starting with the ORIGINAL 13 figures from 1982, even in straight arm form.
I can't wait to see what SDCC 2014 has to offer.
Holy hell, that is exactly what i was hoping for. EXACTLY.
I'm in! Credit card limits be damned!!!
Not really interested in this. Interesting idea and glad they are doing something.
Oh wow.
If they are totally blown up O-ring style figures I'm in as long as they're quality.
There's Grunt in the photo as well... haha awesome!
holy crap look at those! I'm gonna have to get a second job. Too freaking cool! Looks like they even have all their gear too!
wow I can't wait to see close ups of them. It's gonna be like the 80's all over again.
edit: are they making them straight arm ? I can't tell but Zap almost looks like its straight arm.
